To say simply "enforce the law." well. the current laws arent good enough to be enforced. They do not have the enforcement mechanisms necessary to ensure that we do have workplace enforcement. which at the end of the day is the most important measure we can have. A lot has been said about the cost to our society of illegal immigrants being legalized. The CBO. which we trust on these issues. has saidthis is the nonpartisan congressional budget officethey find that the new Federal revenue from taxes. penalties. and fees under this bipartisan immigration bill will more than offset the cost of setting up the new immigration system and the cost of any Federal benefit temporary workers. Z visa holders. and future legal immigrants under the bill would receive. I thank the Senator for yielding me some time. I simply say that it has been a pleasure to work with those who have committed themselves to do something about the problem. and not simply say what is imperfect about the solution but to find a solution to this difficult problem.
